If you have some spare time try the Quebec version of Autotrader.

Just enter the Make and model and do a quick search.

At one time I think Jonathan McCreary (slammedfiero on Pennock's) had a Getrag 284 (or 282, I forget which is FWD) in Kingston.  You might email him, he's into autocrossing and may have a source.

I assume you just need the tranny.........

Im looking for the complete car, I just require that they have that 5-speed in them. I could find the tranny by itself no problem its what is attached to it that Im looking for!

Well, I thought the Calais would be a quad 4 and the Cutlass a 3.4 DOHC

If you are going quad 4, I think one of the new 4 cyls from a Cav or Sunfire would be nice as well.

There's a Northstar in the parts section of the eastern ont Auto Trader.

There is a few years where certain Cutlass' have the quad 4. That is what im going for. I htink my best bet right now will probley be to find a Grand Am GT with the HO quad. If I can in the next few weeks then thats going to be my little project from now til finished.. The 3.4 after researching it, just isnt a durable enough engine. I can handle replacing some Head gaskets on a 4cyl.

If using the HO quad 4 becareful they are also known for eating heads as well as head gaskets. Would reccomend rebuilding completely first especially those cheap timing chain tensioners that make so much noise.
